Palm Springs Community Garden

With a vision for healthy ecosystems and urban sustainability, the City of Palm Springs offers use of a community garden to residents.

The garden features planting beds for individuals or groups to rent and grow food or other plants. The garden has 32 plots for individual gardeners and also hosts more formal environmental and experiential learning programs administered by community groups.  There is a community meeting space, an orchard and a constructed shade structure at the garden to facilitate meetings and socialization. Located within a community park and adjacent to a community center, the community garden allows the city’s Community Services program to coordinate their activities and events with the garden space.
